Lands - Turismo na Natureza

What a fantastic experience for us all, from booking to reception and the tour itself. Chico our tour guide was very informative and great fun! I highly recommend booking with Lands, super friendly, helpful and very professional.

Good value kayak rental for the wetlands of Faro. It's a really interesting route from Faro town through the twisting marshes on the way to Faro beach. You have a low vantage point from the water so it's tricky to maintain a sense of distance and scale, but since the only place you can end up is your destination you're at no real risk of getting lost. The agency are very good and provide a map and basic route advice. It was €35 for a four hour rental, which was enough time for a return trip, stopping for a picnic on a private beach about two thirds of the way. A great day out for those wanting to see something a bit different and who aren't afraid to row for it.

Read about "Lands" in Algarve tourist guide book - a little hidden in a shop offering other trips etc but clear on Google maps for location. Helped out straight away on request for kayak hire, just had to wait 5 or 10 mins whilst other trips departed but we hadn't booked - just turned up on spec. Kayak / paddles in great condition - felt quite stable whilst on water. Were given guidance on safe routes to take and a map to help us navigate. Fully enjoyed 2 1/2 hours out on the water. Thank you!

The website proposes 4 places kayaks rental but at the office they refuse to rent it for 1 adult and 2 kids. The price is doubled with 2 kayaks. In addition, bad advice about the tide effects : we were always against the current: too hard for the kids. They should have proposed to delay the departure. Not so happy, then!

Amazing tour, I strongly recommend this one over the more touristic ones. -The boat was quite small (max 6-8 people) so we could go in small canals with a boat not being overcrowded. -~45 min tour with electric boat (very silent) -Amazing guide: biological student, passionate about the area and fluent in English & Portuguese.
